Again same for new member, if given a chance they could talk about their ideas. Like discussions on India-US nuclear deal when you meet for coffee after a Free Software meet.
The above point projects an apolitical approach and is part of the politics which says that "people should not take part in politics", "politics is dirty", etc... which is anti-democratic politics. If one were to go through the Free Software principles and Eben Moglen's treatise on "The struggle for freedom of thought" and comprehend their meaning then one would see the political shallowness expressed in the above point.
Point: The free software movement is a political movement.
